Is it just me, or is this pretty amazing?!

Fruita & Friends!

A few weeks ago when Charlie was staying with us, we decided to show her the wonders of Fruita! I think she had a pretty good time; we did anyway! Here are a few pics from the dirt.

This part of the trail was a little rocky!

A Dog's Best friend

Echo and her new best friend, Mr. Squeaker. Don't tell Copper.

Charlie & Troy's visit

A few of our friends came up for a stay with us and we had a pretty good time. This first picture of Troy is to get back at him for all of the lovely pics he posted of me on his blog...which will remain nameless...

It's Fruita Time (aka mud season here)

On Monday Tim, the dogs, and I headed westward and found ourselves at the Kokopelli trailhead. Dry trails and warm weather = just what the doctor ordered. We had a total blast and I must say, I rode better than maybe I ever have. Whether it's the spin class or the fact that I may finally be acclimated to the altitude, something was going in my favor. We rode Rustler's Loop, then Mary's Loop, and then the next day hit up the 18 road trails. Zippety Do Dah, Kessler's Run, etc...wonderful!!!! I had fun, Tim had fun, the dogs had fun. What more could you ask?! Perhaps great margaritas at our favorite Mexican restaurant?! Yep, that helped. And the nice jacuzzi suite at La Quinta (Spanish for dog-friendly waffle house) didn't hurt either. Anyhoo, here are a coulple of Fruita pics. Enjoy the warm weather oozing from these shots. Notice that there are very few pics of the actual single track trails. Now that I don't have to stop every few moments to catch my breath, the photo ops seem fewer and farther between.


A few signs that you'll only see in Fruita...

Spin Class Yo

So, spin class seems to be a hit. Each class sees between 6 & 9 participants. This pic is of the beginning of class when everyone is complaining of the cold. Sara, in the back row, has a fur-lined, hooded coat on. They used to ask me to turn on the heat and I just tell them "give me 5 minutes and I'll turn on the heat!" Thanks to all who participate. I'm having fun and hope you are too. Show up on either Wednesday or Sunday nights at about 6:15 (we start pedaling at 6:30) or Thursday mornings at 8:15 (pedal by 8:30a.m.). Class lasts about an hour and is a pretty decent workout. If you have questions, email me at sarahj5@hotmail.com or call The Village Hub.
